L2M – Oculum

Oculum is developing a new technology to make eye surgeries safer and more efficient by eliminating the need for chemical dyes. Currently, surgeons use these dyes to see delicate eye tissues, but they come with risks like retinal damage and complications, and they don’t always work reliably. Our solution provides a safer and more consistent way to enhance surgical precision, reducing risks for patients and making high-quality eye care more accessible. With strong support from ophthalmologists, we are refining our technology and expanding our customer research beyond Canada to understand global surgical needs and bring this innovation to market.
